Japanese Straights (not Kamosori)

**jcsixx** · 05-11-2011, 03:59 PM

Hey guys,

I was wondering what you guys thought about the japanese straights (not kamisori), but the folding blade style? I've seen a couple on ebay. Do you guys like these? Are there any companies that you guys prefer?

There probably is info somewhere on the site, but I figured I'd start this thread anyway to get some input.

Japanese like to use great steel for their blades of any kind.
I have had a few they all were great shavers.

Last year I bought a NOS H-Diamond. Very good razor.

I am a huge fan of the Diamond series as well. I have the 775, 776, 777 and the 8000. The 8000 would stand up against any blade in the world. The 776 is my favorite.

Does anyone know if there's a name for japanese western-style folding razors with kamisori/assymetrical grinds?

I do not think such raozrs exist.
All kamisori style western razors I have seen were symmetric.

I'm interested in Japanese straights (folding) too. I've seen some nice ones on the Kanayama Strop blog.
